(And Keep Your Color Looking Lush)
You’ve just had your hair beautifully colored, and a few weeks later you notice it: those warm yellow, orange, or copper tones sneaking through. That’s brassiness – and it happens to almost everyone.
The great news? With the right care and professional support, it’s easy to keep your color looking vibrant, cool, and polished between salon visits. At Daybreak Salon, your trusted hair color salon Downriver, we specialize in tone correction, glossing treatments, and color maintenance that keeps your blonde, brunette, or balayage looking as fresh as the day you left the chair.
Why Brassiness Happens
Brassy hair doesn’t mean something went wrong with your color. It’s a natural part of the color fade cycle. As cooler pigments gently fade over time, your hair’s warm undertones begin to show through. Everyday factors like sun exposure, mineral-rich water, chlorine, and hot tools can make that shift happen more quickly.
Our Master Stylist Amanda explains it best:
“Warmth isn’t a mistake, It’s just your hair doing what hair does. Our job is to help keep your tone balanced, fresh, and beautiful”
Who’s More Likely to Experience Brassy Hair
Anyone can experience brassiness, but it tends to show up faster in:
- Blonde hair that’s been lightened or highlighted
- Brunettes with balayage or sun-kissed dimension
- Hair that’s more porous from heat stying or environmental exposure
- Guests with hard water or frequent pool time
Whether your hair is platinum blonde, soft brown, or somewhere in between, brass is common but easily managed with the right hair care routine.
How Daybreak Keeps Brassiness in Check
We take a layered, professional approach using Color Space and Aveda hair color, along with Aveda and Kerastase treatment and color-protecting hair care to keep your tone fresh, vibrant and luminous.
Gloss or Toner Refresh
A quick in-salon glossing treatment or toner refresh can instantly neutralize warmth and restore vibrancy. This isn’t a full color service, just a targeted tone correction that brings your blonde, brunette, or balayage back to life.
Rose, Master Stylist & Educator, shares:
“Think of it like a mini tune-up. It’s how we keep your hair color glowing between appointments.”
Kerastase Professional Hair Treatments
We often pair toner services with Kerastase treatments to fortify the hair fiber, lock in pigment, and create mirror-like shine. Strong, healthy hair holds tone longer and looks better doing it.
Professional Hair Care at Home
For at-home maintenance, Kerastase’s color care line is a guest favorite. It gently cleanses while protecting your color, so your blonde or brunette shade stays vibrant longer. For extra toning power, we may recommend a violet shampoo like Aveda’s Botanical Repair Purple Toning Shampoo to keep brass at bay.
Personalized Maintenance Plans
Because no two heads of hair are the same, our stylists create custom care routines. Whether you need a gloss every 6 – 8 weeks or extra protection from hard water, we’ll map out what works best for your lifestyle.
Everyday Tips from Our Stylists
- Use Aveda or Kerastase color-safe shampoo and conditioner to protect your tone
- Treat your hair with Kerastase Fusio-dose or a hair masque for lasting shine and strength
- Shield your hair from the sun, chlorine and hard water to prevent brassiness
- Use heat tools wisely and always with a heat protectant
- Book regular glossing or toner appointments to stay ahead of brass.
